Detailed Information for Bent Tree Apartments

Exercise extreme caution when considering properties listed by the horrible company “AIR Communities” on rental platforms. While their promotional visuals might appear enticing, prospective tenants should be forewarned of a multitude of hidden fees. Beyond the baseline rent, there are significant charges for amenities such as parking, water, and mail services, which often require an additional subscription. The following are crucial observations derived from reviews by past tenants across multiple platforms. It is imperative that you review these insights meticulously to avoid potential regrettable experiences.

Here is 10 reasons why you SHOULD NOT! consider moving into Bent Tree Apartments:

  1. Overpriced Rent and Hidden Fees: The rent and additional fees, including those for pets, are considered to be very high, with some residents feeling as though they are being financially exploited.
  2. Poor Noise Insulation: Some reviewers complained that they could hear their neighbors walking or showering, indicating issues with noise insulation.
  3. Unmaintained Common Areas: There are still mentions of common areas like the gym being old, dirty, and dusty.
  4. Parking Issues: Parking continues to be a significant concern, with residents mentioning high fees for assigned spots that are often far away from their apartments, and the risk of cars being towed even when parked correctly.
  5. Unresponsive and Unprofessional Management: Management is frequently described as unresponsive, unprofessional, and primarily focused on extracting fees rather than addressing residents’ concerns.
  6. Poor Quality of Apartments: Some residents describe the apartments as cheaply renovated or poorly maintained, with mentions of issues like ant infestations, uneven floors, disconnected burners, and concealed damages that become apparent over time.
  7. Inadequate Communication: Communication from management is described as inconsistent, delayed, or entirely absent, leading to confusion and frustration.
  8. Misleading Fees: Some reviews mention being overcharged or charged unexpected fees, with recommendations to carefully read the lease and keep all communication proofs.
  9. Cleanliness Issues: Several reviewers describe the complex as dirty and mention encountering various pests.
  10. Safety Concerns: A few reviewers expressed concerns about having to walk back to their apartments in the dark due to distant parking spots.

It’s essential to keep these points in mind and possibly look for other rental options that provide not just a decent apartment but also a pleasant overall living experience.

The worst place to rent from!! You will never find parking after 9:30pm-10pm!!! On top of that my car got towed last night and I had to pay $160 to get it back today! The management run by this apartment sucks and they do not care! I highly advise the people to find somewhere else to rent. I can not wait for my lease to end in a couple of months!!!

Lived here for five months and I would not recommend it to anyone. The place is not safe at all, someone stole my bike from the deck, my packages are lost all the time and Luxer One charge me $10 storage fee (if I don't pick up my package in 24 hours) they send me code and when I go there the locker is empty. Parking is a nightmare you can find your car totally empty in the morning (stole tires and other parts) even when they charge $20 a month for parking. After reporting to the office manager you will feel like waste of you time, management won't do anything. There is a bogus fee for paying your rent with a card. In the apartment itself, paint chips from the walls and the bathtubs and troilite is very old. Blinds break easily or straight up fall down, and you will see dog poop everywhere.

Current resident here, I wouldn't walk I would run away from This place. Regrets on moving in. Advertising no smoking, everyone smokes and it seeps through the air ducts. Wanna park? $60-$120 got a parking space that's damn near a 8 minutes walk! Want friends over? Well people take up and hog guest parking for weeks, not to mention venders park in your spot for hours and you can't get a hold of anyone. They say you can wash your car, oh that's great! NOPE! Spots are hogged by people stealing spots, okay fine surely you can fill a bucket up with water? NOPE handles are all broken nice. Basically only nice thing is the semi renovated apartments that you pay a premium for. Counting the days for this year to up

Cheap for a reason. 1. They'll provide you an ant infested apartment that their maintenance team can't get rid of. 2. There is no adequate parking. Good luck finding a spot after 5PM. Most of the time I had to park really far away and walk back to the apartment in the dark. If you want a designated parking spot, it's an additional $50 AND there's not guarantee it will be close to your apartment "due to lack of availability" 3. Overcharged our rent by an ADDITIONAL $2000 because they did not look at the contract we signed. Proceeded to quote "market value" until we asked them to check their emails with us where they guaranteed us a certain price for our apartment. So if you ever end up picking this place, KEEP ALL PROOF OF COMMUNICATION. NOW FOR THE BIGGEST AND MOST INFURIATING EXPERIENCE 5. When we moved out, they billed us $2000 for "damages" and cleaning. We literally had the apartment cleaned. We left the apartment in great condition, no mess on the walls or floors, all appliances in working condition, etc. They never performed a final walkthrough with us because their office was closed and they wouldn't let us turn in the keys when they were actually open. So for "proof" of damages all they sent was the bill, a "final walkthrough form" that they signed with no signature from us, and FAKE PICTURES of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT apartment. Not even the same flooring or same wall paint. Literallty a different apartment. Through MANY phone calls and repeatedly asking for solid proof, they finally dismissed the fees. BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT of your apartment take as many pictures and videos as you can of your apartment and its condition or else you will be out $2K.

Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazardThere was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here!The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym, pool, and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade.

My partner and I lived at Bent Tree Apts from Mar '22 to Jan '23. We terminated our lease early because it was that bad, so bad that we paid hefty termination fees to get out. Tip: get a lawyer to look at your lease before signing anything! Before our move-in day, we were unable to get in contact with the leasing agent that coordinated our move-in. We later found out that our leasing agent left the company and forgot to transfer our information to another agent. Our move-in day was also on a Sunday so the leasing office would have been closed. Good thing we kept bugging them about it--otherwise, I'm convinced we would have never gotten our passcodes while still getting charged rent. Within the first week, we noticed evidence of previous water damage all over the apartment unit (e.g raised flooring, cracked walls, water stains). There was also an ant infestation that came from outside our first floor unit; we had to seal the trim with tape to keep them out. Another issue is that there is a shortage of parking spaces. We paid for general parking spaces every month but were not guaranteed spots after 7pm. A few months later, our ceiling flooded with sewage water near the HVAC vents on two separate occasions. This explained where the signs of prior water damage throughout the apartment unit came from. Another big concern was that the maintenance team entered our unit for an unannounced VA state inspection. The maintenance team told us at the door that they knew some units did not receive a notice, but they still apparently needed to enter that day anyway. Luckily, we happened to be home at the time and were able to calm down our anxious dog. If this is a routine state inspection, shouldn't they have known about this for a while? Why couldn't the maintenance team have rescheduled the inspection when they realized that some units were not notified? We felt very strongly about this because we had a lot of concerns about our rescue dog being home alone with any strangers in the unit. When we brought this concern to the attention of the leasing office, they told us that all units were absolutely notified ahead of time. It took a lot of persistence on our end before they finally checked their e-mail distribution list and realized that some units indeed did not receive the notice. However, instead of apologizing for the gaslighting, they shoved this under the rug and promised not to do this again. Except it did. Needless to say, we lost all trust in Bent Tree after this experience. There was a drain in the hot water heater closet that collected the runoff from the HVAC of all the units above us and it constantly dripped with water. A sewage smell appeared every 2 weeks and it permeated throughout the entire apartment. There were random fees added to our invoice every month; however, we don't know where that money went to as they never did any landscaping in the Fall or Winter and only raked the leaves twice the entire season. The complex was hideous with all the leaves that would rot in the grass and encourage snakes to hide underneath (and yes, we did see snakes). Bent Tree's online portal is also a mess and you can't track what you're being charged for as the charges are not listed in any sequential order. As others have mentioned, we received an automated message that our batteries for our door lock were dying and scheduled a date and time to have replacements dropped off. They were never delivered and we had to buy our own out of fear of getting locked out of our apartment. We confirmed later with the leasing office that their AI assistant rarely works. Maybe they have it figured out by now, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on it. Overall, terrible experience that negatively impacted our quality of life. You could rent a better apartment at a similar price point that comes with fewer headaches.

If Hellish customer service is what you're looking for then look no further! My overall experience at Bent Tree was full of mislead information, and also a 3 month late notice that the carpet had to be replaced once we moved out. The carpet was a year old and looked perfectly fine, however they felt the need to scam us out for more money. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else, this place is the taint of apartments in Centerville, Va.

I kept holding back on putting in a review for Bent Tree Apartments in Centreville, VA but now I have no choice. I had to move out in less than a month. Never mind the parking hassles, especially coming home after 7pm with bags of groceries and a Baby to feed and no parking available where I have to drive to the HMart plaza to park and walk back on numerous occasions and also pay a monthly parking fee, who charges parking for a place they call your home?, and never mind the exorbitant amount of monthly fees and service charges that are added onto the rent where you may as well go to a nicer more expensive place where you are going to end up paying the same amount, but the straw that broke this camels back was when the two leasing agents absolutely promised me they would not charge me for cleaning expenses when I moved out. This was their word of honor and of course I did get charged. My email response was sent to the property manager and she would not honor and uphold their promise. A real dishonest loser. Dishonesty is something I can't take especially when it comes to monetary concerns. They can keep their cleaning expense but I am going to keep this review up for a long time. Think multiple times before moving here. The reviews do not lie about this place.

I've waited a while to leave my review because I wanted to offer the new management company time to settle into the groove of taking on a large complex. That said, while I can appreciate the effort they are making to better the community, the disturbance it's causing to residents is completely disrespectful. First let's start with the fact that it took them weeks, probably about 6, to resurface the parking lots, and we aren't talking about a complete grade and lay new asphalt, just a simple cosmetic surface fix and seal. This impeded parking for the entire duration. Then, they decided to take electricity and water to the existing dog park, great plan, terrible execution. Unfortunately for me, the trench digging for this was 20 feet from my apartment and they were here for hours, until past 7pm to be exact. I'm not talking about men and shovels, actual ground diggers and burrow drills.... until past dinner time. When I asked the leasing office how late they were going to be there they actually asked "why is it disturbing you?" .... pretty sure I didn't go up there to for the hell of it.... moving on, today, the last straw to my review standstill, I'm home and I hear a very loud thud from upstairs and I think to myself, "I hope someone didn't fall" mute the tv, hear some faint movement, go about my binge watching and I hear more loud thuds. At this point I'm thinking someone has fallen and they are struggling to get back up, go outside look up and find that my neighbors have moved out, the windows are wide open and what I am hearing is the contractors "fixing the apartment" at 5pm are carrying materials into the apartment and literally dropping them on the floor. I watched it happen. I've lived here for a few years, other than the occasional trip or fall I never hear my upstairs neighbors, but these people were dropping boxes of stuff and shaking the entire ceiling. I do what any annoyed person does, go to the leasing office. I'm always greeted with hostility for absolutely no reason, I prepared myself for that and was told "it will just be an inconvenience while they renovate" I'm sorry, what? That is what you have to say to a current paying resident? Rude, disrespectful and completely uncaring. If you want people to stay, I assume retention would be high on the priority list, but not for this new company. They don't care about anything. Don't bother moving in.And to any manager that actually takes the time to read this far, don't give me a bogus reply just to make it seem like you're engaging on reviews. There is nothing you can do about the way residents are treated by the staff at the office unless you fire them and bring in actual people with customer service skills.

The parking is horrible! They first charge for it, then you have only a specific spot to park in, you can't even choose. It's always far away from where I live and on top of that the maintenance teams keep parking their trucks in multiple spots and I can't even go inside until I find one and get them to move.

I had a disappointing experience with Bentree apartment manager, Afrah Oram. It's frustrating to feel misled and taken advantage of, especially when dealing with something as important as lease negotiations and rental increases. The lack of transparency and accountability from the apartment manager has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a tenant. It's completely unacceptable that you kept me waiting for three weeks, fully knowing you could not negotiate the significant rent increase. This kind of delay and miscommunication shows a lack of respect for my time and concerns as a tenant. Furthermore, the fact that an exorbitant fee of $1000 was charged to me despite my intentions being clearly communicated to the leasing office adds insult to injury. It's unfair for the management to penalize me for their own inability to effectively manage the situation. My intentions were clearly communicated to the leasing office, yet I were still charged an unjustified fee. It's disappointing that the property management appears to be more focused on maximizing profits than ensuring the satisfaction and well-being of their tenants. Andreas at the office can to attest to my intentions, this speaks volumes about the lack of consistency and professionalism at the property. If even the internal communication among staff members is lacking, it's no wonder that tenants are feeling mistreated and undervalued. The negative impact that this experience has had on me the is evident of this review, and it's truly regrettable that I choosed to lived at this property. As a tenant, you you should feel supported, respected, and appreciated by the property management, but it seems that Bentree apartment management has fallen short in providing these basic standards of care and consideration. Let it be an advise to others to stay away from this property, as it seems that the management prioritizes financial gain over the well-being and satisfaction of their tenants. It's disheartening to see a property that neglects the needs and concerns of the individuals who call it home.

Not enough parking spaces even when you pay your $15 a month. Across my apt they just take a spot and put reserved. Really!!!!!!! Which you can get if you want to pay $40 a month.

I'd previously given this complex a better rating, but with inconvenience after inconvenience compounding, they're quickly falling out of favor with us. The office staff try to be helpful, but the new property management company, AIMCO, is just way stricter, more bureaucratic, and prone to mistakes than the old one. Towing is strict, parking limited, and LOTS of hidden fees. You pay WAY more than just rent here. Not a great place if you love animals or privacy, as they will often just barge into your apartment, giving you "notice" by saying, "sometime this week." Overall, it's become your run-of-the-mill, poorly-managed complex, run by a big company with low standards.

You're done being treated like "family" as soon as you sign your lease. The leasing office is severely understaffed, they never answer their phones when you call, and when they do they hang up on you. My partner slid on a water heater cover and fell in when it was raining. We told management, they did nothing but ask if he was fine! What if it were a kid? Worst attitudes ever from leasing agents, as if your problems are your own fault. QUICK to bill you for leaving anything outside your front door. Take your money ANYWHERE else. This is their job, they don't care that it affects your livelihood.You pay for parking, but they will tow you no matter what! But once they tow you the leasing office cannot help you, even though you had your paid parking pass on the top right of your windshield. Sounds great right? Their package delivery system is a joke. You pay $50 annually for a locker system, and they don't even notify you when your package was delivered. You have to go into the LuxerOne app and talk to their customer service. Leasing office will tell you there's nothing they can do. I had my package stolen recently, the leasing office asked if I had called the police already (sounded like sarcasm). It was a $4 package, I don't need the police, I need the protection and surveillance I was promised when I bought a locker space. Truly counting down the days until I leave this disgusting establishment. The manager's name is Sonia, and she is far from a decent manager. The property manager's name is Andrea, and she's even worse. Need a maintenance request? By your third submission, they should be on the way. Maintenance men are no issue, in fact very thorough and quick, perhaps the nicest thing about this place.Leasing office is truly ran by grown women who act like high-schoolers. God forbid you're passionate and upset about your problem, they'll pretend they never received your voicemail. But once you go into the leasing office physically they act like that had never happened. AVOID this community like the plague. I'm counting down the days until I get to leave this horrible place.

Be very wary of the new management company (Aimco). Bent Tree was previously managed by Lincoln Apartments with whom I had a good experience. I lived at Bent Tree for two years and Aimco took over during the last month of my lease. They used a photo of someone else's laundry room to try and prove that I did not clean my apartment (I did. I left it better than I had found it) and claimed a "hair" was left in the medicine cabinet resulting in a cleaning charge. Only after threatening to take them to small claims did they waive the charge. The apartments are good and the community is nice but the new management is to be avoided.

This is the absolute worst place to live. Bent Tree is run by awful people. We were one of the apartments in the fire there recently. Everything was destroyed except our bedroom. They didn't let us into our apartment until over a month later and then only finally found us a way in so they could continue with their construction. To get us into our apartment they knocked down a wall ruining the majority of items in the only room that wasn't destroyed by fire. We also found out that people had been stealing things from our apartment in the time that they wouldn't let us in. They blew us off about these issues. Even before the fire they were horrible. They knocked down our smoke alarm while in our apartment working on something. When we told them it was broken they said they would be right on while completely dismissing us never being fixed. These are small overpriced apartments run by lazy people who do not care about their tenants needs. They treated us terribly during an already difficult time.Sonia who we have primarily dealt with is the absolute worst and has not helped us in any way and I am certain I will never hear back from her about the insurance claim from them letting people steal our stuff instead of letting us in sooner.

Experience was not a good one anyway you look at it. The staff was unprofessional and unable to assist in an efficient and effective manner. For 6+ months, there was a broken sink in my apartment. Management and staff were unable to successfully coordinate between the necessary repairmen and myself in order for that to be remedied. Additionally, not all charges on move out were assessed in accordance with the lease. Upon my request to speak with someone regarding this, I was ignored. Should you consider moving there, be prepared to (1) be overcharged; (2) not be provided promised living conditions in one form or another; and (3) not have any sort of effective or efficient communication with Bent Tree or Air Communities staff. Bottom line, I would not recommend engaging with Bent Tree Apartments, or with any property its parent company, Air Communities, owns due to their lack of care for their residents. Following up on my customer experience after being directed to Air Communities. The customer service I received throughout this process has again been tangibly distasteful. It is clear that residents are considered a disruption to this company and not a priority. The Air Communities team made a unilateral determination with zero transparency to the customer on how or why they are able to operate not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Good to see another company free driving into residents' wallets as they please. Also, the posts regarding parking are true. It's a hassle. Residents speed through the parking lots creating i excess risk for pedestrians and children in the area.

The worst apartment! During my 2 years living here, I have experienced the worst service. Last year, I felt racial discrimination when they interrupted me while I was speaking, simply because English is not my first language, and made me repeat myself. The apartment staff have no respect for the residents and ignore them. In June, before moving out, my mom went to the office to give final notice. The manager seemed overwhelmed, dealing with many people. Since it was the last day to give final notice, my mom waited, but the manager told her that it was fine to come another day. My mom asked again to confirm, and trusted her word. Now, after moving out, they are charging her a late fee for giving the final notice late. They claim it's because the date she signed the notice was past the deadline. Of course, the signing date would be late since the manager said it was okay to come later. The manager now says she doesn't remember because she meets over 1,000 people a day. My mom trusted her word, but now she has to pay the fee while she acts like she doesn't know. My mom was so frustrated that she asked for a different manager(jerry) but he told her that if my mom don't pay, they will refer the matter to a lawyer. They don't want to be treated unfairly, yet they handle their responsibilities like this? This is the worst customer service and most irresponsible apartment management I've ever encountered. If you plan to live here, keep evidence of everything. Do you want to live in an apartment that discriminates against you and tries to withhold your deposit? That was worst ever.

Their new management is worse than the last one , our air conditioner is not working but they are not doing anything about it , it's been almost a week and it's cold . I have to call them everyday and the person who answer the call is not that friendly, he keep saying they will call me back but they never did . Only one guy works here in the office ( don't know his name ) , he always has attitude, he needs to be fired .

As I look at the google reviews... I see that I am not the only one who feels that AIMCO.... ESPECIALLY THE DISCONNECTED CEO.. places profit BEFORE the resIdents' comfort, security.... AND SAFETY. The minion named ""George" (I am actually laughing right now because he has the perfect 'minion name'), seems to have some kind of response to every critisism.... and, yet, never takes responsibility. The CEO, who is hanging out with his republican rich friends on his yacht right now.... and couldn't care less about what is actually HAPPENING TO REAL PEOPLE... who HE SHOULD CARE ABOUT (FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES)..... trained "George" well. "Avoid those regular humans AND DON'T get caught up with THEIR ISSUES, GEORGE, while taking their money. Write a bunch of comments that make us look like we care! While making passive aggressive remarks! I NEED MORE MONEY! Good job George. Here is your bonus thst comes straight from the mouths of our tenants children!!!!" CHECK OUT ALL REVIEWS ON ALL WEBSITES before you sign a lease with Bent Tree! The only reason that I don't post this review on other websites is because I am aware of the lack of ethics going on with the management company... and, I need to maintain housing. I fear "retribution" that will actually be "retaliation" if the CEO and his minions find out who it is that spoke.

Avoid this place if you think you will need flexibility on your lease. If you break your lease early they charge you 3 months rent. 3 months!

Parking is still nightmare. They have these "reserved spots" right in front of each building that you can pay for but no one pays for them so they're always open and when I'm circling the complex at night trying to find parking those are the only ones open but I can't park in them or I'll get towed. Just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere unless you want a headache. They're trying to re do the siding and paint the brick of all the building right now while we're still waiting for them to open the renovated gym and clubhouse and while we're waiting for them to repair the burned building.There was a multi unit fire over 4 months ago but I still have to drive by a black burned building surrounded by construction equipment when nothing has changed and doesn't like they've rebuilt any part of the building. They have fences taking up a bunch of parking near that building too which could be used because if you get home after 8 pm good luck finding parking. Last night I had to walk across the entire complex carrying my 2 year old who was asleep because I got home around 11 pm. I work late and I work 45 hours a week and am a mom so to spend 30-45 minutes looking for parking and then carry my sleeping child across the complex is ridiculous and management DOESNT care. My last Yelp review the "business owner" said someone reached out but surprise surprise, no one did. My lease was almost up and I was looking to transfer so I called the leasing office and spoke to a gentleman about what unit and he said he would get it approved by his boss and call me back. Well after a month of waiting I said forget it I don't want to pack anymore and no one called back. So I'm on the resident website and it says my upcoming auto payment was a few hundred more than usual so I'm like wtf, I walk to the leasing trailer and speak to someone and she was like yeah you're moving in the 18th of next month that why your rent went up. So apparently I was scheduled to move and no one told me?! The gentleman never called me back about transferring but put in the transfer.. I never signed any new lease or anything and no one spoke to me. The guy over heard me and was like "oh yeah that was me I knew I should've called you back." The woman said she would fix it and contact me. She contacted me a few days later and apologized it took a few days because hey had already LEASED MY APARTMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE. They leased the apartment I was living in to someone else without contacting me and having me sign transfer papers. I really feel bad for those people because they probably had to find something else and just go through a headache. Hopefully they went to another complex! I will he emailing Aimco everyday until they fix this parking issue because I should not have to waste 30 minutes and my gas just to park at my own home. Seriously if you are still reading this please just go to another complex unless you like wasting your time finding parking or getting hit with hidden fees and looking at construction equipment in front of every building. UPDATE: parking still SUCKS and no one wants to pay for reserved when they already charge us $15 per car.. the tennis court still doesn't have a net. The trash compactor and trash bins are ALWAYS full but if I leave my trash outside my door for ONE night the neighbors bitch. I'm sorry that I have a two year old and I'm on bed rest so I don't always get around to taking it in 10 minutes, but yet everyone uses their balcony as storage which they say isn't allowed and people leave bikes and scooters stored outside their door for weeks and they block the walk way. This complex is horrible so when you see why it's rated so low please take your money elsewhere even if it's a little more costly because no one in management gives a crap about residents. All they want is their money. They also sent notice about people not being allowed to hang things on their balcony but I see residents that have drapes and lights hanging around their balcony. AIMCO doesn't know what the hell theyre doing and I cannot WAIT to leave this sh*t hole. Also that guy who responds to complaints saying he'll contact you... he never does I've never heard from him he's probably up in a corporate office.

I HAVE NOT SLEPT IN MONTHS NOR CAN AFFORD TO PAY THEM TO BREAK MY LEASE. This has added to my depression and currently in therapy ( not lying ) I had to live through construction for months !!! and I mean hard-core you cannot even talk on your phone, kind of construction where it wasn't livable and nails where were flying through my wall. ( they fixed it but still). This was when they were changing the color on the outside of the apartment complex. Several neighbors and I were talking about damages me to our walls and items, thankfully, my items werent ruined, like some of my neighbors. It's was a total utter nightmare. They worked past 8pm sometimes too! Like you got lucky if you were able to sleep. the floorboards are very thin. You can hear every step your neighbors take. This is beyond hearing door slamming and thumping, and a little stomping that's normal in apartment complexes. I'm talking about hard-core TV, and mirrors are shaking. Very earthquake feeling. When I have guest over, they always comment on how I'm able to live here. I take baby steps when I walk in my own place because I'm afraid I might disturb the people below me so I don't comfortably live here. On top of the floorboards already being very weak, I've experienced water damage from a neighbor above me, who I found out, died in her apartment, well, when the cleaners were cleaning, water started pouring on my bedroom floor from my ceiling, they fixed it however, there's still a water stain that I can still see and that was about a year ago from now with that being said, there are squeaky ( nails on a chalkboard) squeaky in my room above me and my upstairs neighbors step on those parts for long periods of time. So I haven't had good sleep here in months. If I were in property management, I would literally consider letting someone out of their rent for the excessive noise, it's not regular apartment noise. As a human I'd be upset that I collect money from someone who can't sleep in their own home. I am forced to sleep in my car some nights when the sounds are that bad or crash at a friend that I can find all while still paying rent here I would consider all of this before you move in if you are someone from New York City, etc. this might not be that drastic for you. If you are trying to get away from a noisy complex, this is not the complex for you.. What sucks is that they get to decide if the noise levels are loud or not, not you or the company that comes over and hears all of this shit. ITS BEEN AWFUL! I've complained multiple times. It doesn't matter. UPDATE: I moved out and a week prior I tried contacting the leasing office. No one called me back. No one answered until I reached out to them with a blocked number, and then was rerouted to manager of bentree. She contacted me a day after my move out date ( after me begging and calling ) and are charging me for a cleaning fee ( I paid to have cleaners over 200$ ) and wanted to get in contact with someone so that they can review the apartment for me to get my full deposit back and they made sure to not contact me or return my calls I had to beg and beg to have someone give me a call back and the manager who I've had problems with my entire time living in that community decides that the apartment is not clean I asked for pictures she said her partner took pictures of the place not being clean, but I asked for them to compare them to my pictures of my place being clean, and she did not respond back to me. ( the cleaning service asked for those pictures because they told me they would give me a refund and she won't even at minimum do that, send pics if it's true). I feel ripped off, and taken advantage of. They can pretty much do and treat you anyway. That manager at that location is unprofessional and not easy to go to with any issues. I wouldn't let this place take your money they do not care especially the manager AFRAH OMAR ! It is nothing more than just a job for her. She does not care how you sleep at night. She does not care if you have degrading issues and for her to contact me after my move out and gets to decide that my place wasn't clean with zero proof. Trying to contact them just for them to make sure my apartment was up the standards after the cleaning was not easy and again, they contacted me after that move out date and it just feels like I was robbed. I've lived in other communities where they go about it professionally. That manager is horrible. What apartment complex contacts you after your move out date instead of before when you've reached out to them? I don't understand how she even got that job and it's really sad for the community there. I am not the only complaint regarding her. There are other neighbors who have had their fair issues that I've spoken to. I would just beware of living here save your money and move somewhere where the people actually want to do their jobs.

This apartment sucks. All the spots out front are reserved. You have to walk a mile to get to your apartment. It takes forever to bring in groceries. And they run their tow truck night and day - god forbid if you're in a hurry and accidentally park in a reserved spot, you have to uber 15 miles away to pick it up. Would not recommend living here. Also, they make you pay on the last day of every month, or make you pay a $160 late fee. Most apartment complexes give you until the 5th day. But when you serve a lower societal class, you shouldn't expect them to have their check in on the last day of the month. Heaven forbid. This has gotten out of control. Also:-place infested with bugs/rats-trash was everyday pickup, now 2x/ week, which as residents are required to pay and don't pick up as often. Which makes it smell-changed the payment date from 5th of the next month, to last day of current month without explicitly telling you when you renewed lease-changed management companies 2x in a year-disorganization if staff, when I resigned lease, it literally took me 10x to get changed.

I lived for 2 years, do not move there please, you will stuck with all kind of unjustified and unexplained fees.I left the place in excellent condition and I have photos of every room, wall, cabinets and bathroom I even cleans the edges of, the door handles and now they bill me for cleaning, paint and god knows whatI moved out the first of June and they charged for parking for the month of June and I don't even live there They took my deposit , they sent me 4 different amounts and they even tried to bill me for $5600 for early termination fee although they had a signed copy by me of my move out notice 60 days earlier, they had to adjust it when the found out I have my copyPlease go elsewhere and look for a better place to live, you will regret the day you moved in there and you will count days waiting to move out, they owe hundreds if not thousands plus losing your deposit This place is running a huge scam with their vendors and locker room policy, they will charge $100 a year to have your package deliver to a locker room regardless what size it is. You will have to carry huge boxes and walk with them to your unit in rainy weather and go to third floor with itThey even sent my furniture that got delivered to me to the locker room and I had to drag boxes of furniture to my 3rd floor apartment Please don't make the same mistake I did and sign a lease with these guysI am in the process of taking them to court and finding out I'm not the only one taking legal action against them.This place should be investigated by the BBB, the state attorney general office and take all measures to stop them from taking hardworking people's money just because they think they. An get away with itStay away

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE! My family and I have lived here for many years. The complex was sold to people that don't know what they are doing. They are rude and disrespectful. I have put in my complaints. still Nothing they want you to email your complaints but nothing done in a timely matter. I have been complaining about my outlets for months nothing. there is only four that works in the apartment. (NOTHING) The parking is HORRIFIC if you come home after 6 good luck in finding parking. The only way you have parking near your house is if you paid for it. You can't go out on weekends because if you come back late you have to park at the CVS and walk back. You pay for your trash to be picked up and the trash service that they use leaves trash in the breeze way and it is not picked up. You have to use disinfectant for the equipment in the gym its always dirty and dusty. They have TV's but they don't work the equipment is old the tread mill skips.It's extremely hot the air is never on. No fans,you have to make sure you bring lots of water. I went the other night to the gym and I could not get in they most have changed the system, and didn't notify anyone. The RENT and FEES that they attach is astronomical!!! My friend lives in Woodway apartments and she doesn't have any problems her place is larger and she pays less for rent she said their staff is great. My lease will be up in November, I will be put in my notice OCTOBER 1st. I would rate the complex with new management -0. If I listed everything I would be here all day. BEWARW ITS NOT WORTH THE STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the unfortunate experience of living in what I can only describe as the WORST apartment complex I have ever lived in. Anyone who has claimed otherwise, must be living under a rock. We made the mistake of paying to live in one of their supposedly "renovated" apartments, and let me assure you, it was an absolute joke. At first glance, everything seemed appealing. However, the illusion quickly faded once we settled in. The so-called renovations amounted to nothing more than new appliances, creaky wood floors, and a hasty paint job to cover up any visible signs of disrepair. Our apartment had evident water damage, which the management believed could be remedied with a simple coat of paint. It was clear that they cared more about appearances than actually fixing the underlying issues. To make matters worse, the "new" appliances turned out to be more like faulty hand-me-downs. We encountered numerous problems with them not working properly, constantly causing inconveniences and frustrations. Attempts to address these concerns by contacting the office or the community manager were met with complete silence. The lack of responsiveness and accountability from the management team was astounding. This apartment complex is plagued with severe issues in communication, organization, and accountability. It is disheartening to witness potential residents being misled during their tours, only to discover the true nature of this place after signing their leases. Once your lease is signed, the staff couldn't care less about you or your concerns. It becomes painfully clear that their only objective is to fill the units and collect rent, disregarding the well-being and comfort of their tenants. While the initial rent might seem enticingly affordable, don't be fooled. Bent Tree Apartments will find any excuse to nickel and dime you with exorbitant fees once you're locked into a lease. If you enjoy living somewhere where the management treats you as a joke, disregards your concerns, and fails to provide a comfortable living environment, then by all means, this is the place for you. However, if you value your peace of mind, a responsive management team, and a well-maintained living space, I urge you to look elsewhere. Save yourself the frustrations and financial surprises that await you at Bent Tree

During my time at Bent Tree the quality of life has gone down significantly.1st - The parking situation currently is a disaster. All but a couple dozen spots are assigned parking. This parking might not be anywhere near your apartment and is a separate fee. The little visitor parking that exists is functionally non-existant since it's always full with residents cars. You will not be able to have anyone visit without risking their being towed.2nd - The removal of several amenities to make room for additional parking.3rd - A lack of enforcement of the non-smoking policies. These policies are not effectively enforced and people openly smoke on their balconies and parking lots.4th - Their "newly renovated apartments" had many, many issues with the installation of doors, windows, and appliances incorrectly or sloppily. While maintenance did correct these issues they clearly went with a bottom of the barrel contractor for these renovations and did little to no follow up to make sure things were done properly.Do not rent here, it is not as advertised.

Bad management. Constantly changing staff. You request maint service, they dont come out for 2 weeks. And they keep sending you email saying it was completed for things you didnt even request. They ask for 60 days notice but they dont even have the paperwork ready with renewal info so you can decide if you want to move or not. People in the leasing office are rude. You tell them, you changed personal information at least 3 times because they don't change anything and yet they still have it wrong.

So when we first moved in we had BED BUGS!!!! We had never had them before and when we brought it to attention they did nothing about it. A few months later management changed and things got worse! They never listened to their residents. There fees are outrageous. They have fees for parking, packages, trash ( yes, trash that you have to carry to the dump).Dont waste your time living here. No one was ever helpful here.

Moving to this community was the worse mistake that I have made this year. If you are plaining to move to this community, please visit other apartments in the area because you will struggle to adapt to this environment. You have to pay for trash removal and they don't even want to take your recycle so you have to walk to the dumpster (what is the point to pay extra money) parking spaces are to narrow and the leasing office don't give you extra permit if you have visitors, parking lot is too dark at night, also people steal your stuff from your balcony and the office is not doing anything to stop this issues. I have to call maintenance to repair the sink, laundry, refrigerator, and the floor every month because they do not want to replace them with a new one. Also be aware that they use your balcony outlet when they work outside and they do not help you with the electricity bill. Even more, landscaping crews come too early and you can hear them talking and screaming because the windows are too old and the glass is thin. If you are leaving on the ground floor you can hear every single step from your upstair neighbor. They make you pay for water and other communities in the area don't charge for water and the list goes on and on. I am looking forward to leave this disgusting community.

Run and DON'T look back. If you want terrible customer service, rude members, then this is the place for you!! They never answer the phone, or emails. Parking is atrocious, prepare to walk a whole lot back to your building after 8 pm. This place is a living nightmare. And I can bet that some automated message will be posted in the response to my review! We always get it. Everyone we post a bad review on Facebook, google, yelp. It's the same sad response. Hey bent tree, aimco, save yourself the "time" of copying and pasting a halfass response.Absolute lie, it's been a MONTH since they met with her. When you guys had that bbq. That was last week? No.

I want to share my disappointment with this apartment complex, especially with Bryce Wiley from the leasing office. Even though the living space is okay, dealing with Mr. Wiley has been a bit of a letdown. From the start, there have been problems with promised parking spots. Despite Mr. Wiley saying he'd fix things, the parking situation hasn't improved. Also, details about certain parking spots weren't shared upfront, causing unexpected issues. On top of that, surprise fees keep popping up. Every time we talk about it with Mr. Wiley, it feels like our concerns are ignored or interrupted. After signing the lease, Mr. Wiley's attitude changed, and it's not for the better. He used to be helpful, but now he seems disrespectful and dismissive. This has made our living experience more frustrating and disappointing. To anyone thinking about moving in, I'd suggest being cautious with Mr. Bryce White and the leasing office. Transparency is lacking, concerns aren't being addressed, and the way things change after signing the lease is a letdown.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! First and foremost, it is evident that the sole focus of the company is making money and charging fees wherever possible. Instead of fostering a positive living environment, the management seems to prioritize finding new ways to extract additional charges from the residents. Furthermore, so-called "remodeled" apartments are nothing short of disappointing. The management's definition of remodeling appears to be limited to a hasty paint job, with little attention given to actual improvements. The lack of quality and attention to detail in these "remodeled" units is disheartening and misleading, and we're left with subpar living spaces. In addition to these issues, the overall level of organization and professionalism within the company is severely lacking. Communication from management is often inconsistent, delayed, or entirely absent, leading to confusion and frustration among residents. Lastly, newly implemented assigned parking system has been nothing short of a nightmare. It seems as though there was little thought or consideration given to the placement of assigned parking spaces in relation to the corresponding apartment units. Instead of ensuring proximity and convenience for residents, the assigned parking spots are scattered randomly throughout the complex, leaving residents to trek significant distances from their parking space to their apartment unit. This lack of coordination and planning demonstrates a complete disregard for the comfort and convenience of the residents. Save yourself the headache and do not move here.

I was a resident at Bent Tree for almost 6 years. The conditions there became increasingly worse over time. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of community trash collection. As large trash dumpsters and a huge compactor were near the front of my building I was forced to see (and smell) this mess every day. I did not want guests to visit because of how embarrassing it was. I'm sure it is a very unhealthy situation as well. The conditions of the common areas was a problem also. Whereas other apartment complexes have cleaning crews that walk the grounds regularly, keeping the grounds clean, this complex absolutely did not. I could go on, but you get the gist of it. I would not recommend this complex to anyone.

I'm gonna be honest here- this is my first apartment living situation. I lived in townhouses up to this point, but when I saw Bent Tree had a loft floor plan, I fell in love with it. I moved in under previous management, and while they weren't worthy of a 10/10, they were friendly but did not answer e-mails and weren't the quickest when it came to maintenance issues. We had maintenance issues that started with the previous company and leaked over into the new management's ownership (not having hot water, windows that would not close in the middle of winter resulting in a $400 electric bill for a 1,000 sq foot apartment, a head size hole in the bathroom door from before we moved in and a few small things that weren't too big of an issue). We tried for about 2-3 months to get a new hot water heater that wasn't fixed until we threatened to put our rent in escrow (Aimco). When it was finally in the process of being replaced, we got the run around and were told that it was already replaced that morning, that they went to the wrong apartment, and that they were picking up tools, in that order via different phone calls. We placed a chair against our hot water heater to insure that it would be replaced, but when we came home to see it was still there, we knew it hadn't been touched. The old company fixed our windows after two months, but we later found out that those windows were meant for our neighbor, not us. Our front door did not latch, but they were quick to fix that (old company). During an open house with Aimco, I was not impressed with the attitude of the staff and the bad-mouthing of current residents. While people were trying to ask questions about trying to pay rent online and what fees would change, I wasn't happy to see the attitude that was given. To their credit, a few weeks ago, we had a garbage disposal issue that they fixed the next day. Aside from leasing office woes, I actually love the floor plan of this apartment. It's a little outdated but I don't mind. We live on the top floor and still experience a lot of loud noises from one neighbor to our right and our neighbors downstairs. That comes with apartment living, so I can't fault management for that. However, when we complained about the excessive partying and our walls shaking all weekend, they sent a letter to the entire building, rather than the problem apartment (old company). We haven't personally experienced the parking problems that other tenants have, but they did just add a 'premier parking' which is two spots at the front of the building and you can pay $45/month to park there. Or, you can walk 5 more feet and park in another spot for free. That wasn't a viable solution to the complex's problems. The dog park is a nice feature, I haven't used the pool so I can't attest to that. The location is great. I like being close to a CVS, Giant, multiple banks, restaurants, and I-66. Our building runs along Lee Hwy so we do have a lot of traffic noise, but you learn to deal with that. I believe some other buildings/sections of the complex have had issues with small crimes but we've never experienced that. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get in contact with the leasing office unless you go in person. They do not answer the phone, return messages or answer e-mails. There are a lot of fees associated with living here, they include: -A fee to pay your rent online (you don't have a choice but to do this, or pay by check with a $10 fee) + a fee for which card you use (based on the % of your rent) -$30/month for trash (Ours is often left for days) -$50/month for pets, ON TOP of an $800 deposit (400 refundable, 400 not) -$50/year + a credit card on file to pick up your packages?? -$15/month PER CAR to park or $45/month for "reserved" parking Plus a lot of outrageous things like the e-mail that told us that our balconies are to be used for "sitting purposes only" + this is a "no smoking" community. Anywhere. Not even in your car. Unsure what the fine for that is.

We've waited 15 months to finally write this -To start, there is an ample of fees you pay before move in so please read your lease carefully. -Be mindful that the pet fee at move in is not a pet deposit so you do not get that returned to you. -The office is impossible to reach unless you physically go in to see them. -The apartment itself is very nice initially. But through time you can see the damages that we're covered up and the first floor will have ants, spiders, and all sorts of other creatures crawling through. -our ceiling was falling apart and had massive water damage the first week we moved in but the office was closed Sunday and Monday so we had to call maintenance emergency. It still took a day or 2 for them to come out and fix it -They do not respond to you if it is a concern you have in regards to the them. -the best part about this complex was the location and the maintenance team. The list goes on but just save your time and money.

This apartment community is the worst I moved in to become close to work and the staf was so helpful to move me in. But once I moved in it was a nightmare they don't have parking for the tenant Instead they build only payed parking spaces and there is no street parking I had to beg for devices at my apartment for three months and when I contacted the manager expensing my concerns she was upset about it. The halls are dirty and no one cleans them . The staff is unprofessional and I was getting prank phone calls because I complained and the staff was entering my apartment when I was at work without notice I had a hidden camera I had to move from the constant harassment.

Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazard The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade. Update: There was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here!

As much as I wanted to leave a positive review for Bent Tree, the way my move-out was handled was completely unacceptable and disappointing. After being a tenant for three years without any issues, I expected better treatment. Unfortunately, due to poor communication from Bent Tree and being forced to move out without proper notification, I was charged a significant portion of my security deposit, with Bent Tree acting as if they were doing me a favor. This experience has led me to decide that I would NEVER recommend Bent Tree or any of their affiliated properties, as they clearly do not value their tenants. My time there felt like a movie that was great until a terrible ending ruined it--this is the best way to describe Bent Tree, which is truly unfortunate.

The customer service is horrible. I was wasting 30 mins to visit Bent Tree Apartment. I had an appointment two days ago. But their employee locked the door and let me wait for them for 20 mins. The lady who talked to me was completely rude. No explanation for late or any greeting. Her face made me feel like I owed her a thousand dollars. I had no idea such a person could be a customer service representative with this attitude. I feel deeply sorry for their company. BTW, the information on their website is not accurate. You will get a different move-in date or price when visiting this place.

The office management people are not there to listen to you. They're only there to get the money is what I have felt from them. They were not friendly at all when I was speaking with them. I would ask them to fix something in my apartment and they would just start talking about different thing and don't even listen to what I'm trying to say. Everyone in the office is not willing to listen. If you're just going to live here and not do anything else, it's the best location but if you're really going to live here like you're living at home, this is not the right place for you to live.

We have been living in this complex for about 1,5 months. Even though the leasing office rep who was signing us up and worked with us was very responsive and nice, there were so many issues with everything else. There has not been a week when we wouldn't have to go to leasing office or submit the requests for maintenance. Initially, when we came to check the apartment, there were issues with a lot of things (so it wasn't inspected by their staff). We filled out the inspection sheet but still not everything had been fixed until today, even though we brought it up few times. I guess as long as it's not life-threatening, they don't care about your comfort. It is just an old complex poorly maintained. We were happy that we could lock in the rent for more than a year prior to moving in, but now we wish we could move out...

Actually Bent Tree Apartment looks great when you see it from outside. but the service is too bad. and the maintenance team they do not care. and I have very bad experience started from the first day I moved in. the apartment was very dirty and need a lot of maintenance. reported and they fix some of what we told them after many weeks. and I had to call them and run to the office many times. and I had to take pictures to show them and to have them sign and date on the pictures. and all that just to try to push them to do their work. Complained about the electricity bill which comes over $240 every month while the normal average up to $120 they told us to contact Dominion VA power first. but there was nothing wrong with Dominion. then I had to report it again with their office and now I have been waiting over two weeks for their response and to send their maintenance team. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. The windows are too old and has too many problems. if you ask them to replace just a light bulb in your apartment, it takes days to be replaced. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. and they have very poor customer service

Its been 2 month since I moved in and my experience here has been horrible. I am getting hit with hidden fees like crazy. --You have to pay for their delivery service to the locker (one time fee) which they still deliver it in front of your door--The gym is being renovated but you have to pay for that service (not even prorated) even when you can't use it.--Electric service pay separately to Virginia Electric however... you get hit with the prorated service for the day you didn't set up an account of $50 one time service fee on top of that $5.25/month service fee for god knows what.Below is some of the charges from the statement (copied and pasted)--Vacant Service Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/11/2019 $50.00--Service Fee Conservice is a service provider contracted to prepare monthly statements and provide conservation resources. $5.25--Acct. Setup This is a one-time fee to setup your Conservice account. $10.00--Energy Conservation Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/06/2019 $2.00 (not even sure what this is and this is monthly or in the future going to be higher)PLUS$15/month per car for parking (not enough parking spaces...good luck)$50 for locker delivery service (they still deliver to door)$14.33 for insurance (if you get it through Bent Tree)PLUSWater Base ChargePest ControlSewerSewer Base (different from Sewer charge)TrashWater (difference from water base charge)I am not saying all the charges are not reasonable however, the hidden fee and one time fees are ridiculous.I currently pay $1500 base rent $30 for 2 cars $14.33 for insurance = $1544.33+electric+all those other fees will run you about $1750 minus the one time fees for everything.BEWARE!!!!

Not a good place for people to live unless you're not going to be getting involved with office people. They were not too knowledged on what they were doing. For a simple question we had, we had to sit in the office for an hour. The conversation was not going anywhere because the lady that was taking care of us had to constantly move back and forth and was not nice at all. I read all the reviews before and they all mention something about rude staff members which I totally understand since I experienced it myself. I really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone around me. Only thing I like about this place is the location. Hate the staff's rudeness, hate how loud it is to live, and the parking situation is just don't even get me started. They're even charging the current residents more to get the parking ticket after they changed the whole parking ticket situation.

Parking is awful. Trying to park past 8 pm is a struggle none the less. The community here doesn't seem to care for any rules set forth by the leasing office. When I first moved in I was told that this was a Smoke free complex, the second I parked the moving truck I see 2 separate groups of people smoking outside my soon to be apartment. Noise complaint are ignored at Bent Tree so if you are naturally a noisy person this is the place for you. I've probably submitted 10 noise complaints and that doesn't do anything. Overall I would recommend not living here.

If i can give 0 star, i would do so without hesitation.I have lived in Bent Tree Apartments for more than 8 years, and I strongly do not recommend living here, especially if you have a family. It might be manageable if you're living alone, but even then, it comes with many frustrations. Parking here is a disaster. They recently implemented a new system where each unit gets two assigned parking spots. I have three cars, but they only provided two spots, leaving me to park my third car in the visitor area while still paying the same parking fee. When I requested a third parking spot, the office told me they have more registered cars than available spaces. If that's the case, why are they actively promoting to attract new residents instead of resolving the issues for current ones? All they seem to care about is making money from new leases, while long-term residents are neglected. To make matters worse, if I can't find a visitor spot, they expect me to park on the street outside the complex. It's absurd to pay the same amount for a car that doesn't even have guaranteed parking. My family and I had to constantly monitor visitor spots to avoid being towed. Eventually, we gave up and removed the third car from our account, but not before the office charged me for several extra months due to their own oversight. If I hadn't checked my bank statements, I would've continued unknowingly overpaying. Additionally, if someone parks in your assigned spot, you're responsible for calling the towing company yourself and waiting for them to arrive. Isn't this supposed to be the apartment's responsibility? What's the point of paying for maintenance fees if residents have to handle these issues on their own? The visitor parking rules are just as frustrating. Visitors need a pass, which must be obtained from the office during business hours. If I have a guest after 6 PM, they can't park in the complex. Instead, they have to park 20 minutes away near local businesses, and I have to pick them up and drop them off. Walking from the street parking late at night after work is both unsafe and inconvenient, especially in bad weather. If you have only one car, this might not be a problem, but if you have two or more, I strongly advise against living here. The maintenance team is completely unprofessional. Every issue I reported required multiple follow-ups before anything was resolved. Many times, the maintenance staff didn't even know how to fix the problem and had to FaceTime coworkers for instructions. For years, I dealt with leaking sinks in the kitchen and bathroom. Instead of replacing the pipes, they just applied tape, which obviously didn't work. It took years of complaints before they finally replaced them. The doors in my unit didn't fit the frames properly, leaving a 2-inch gap that I had to push them to fix. Even the toilet cover didn't match the toilet's shape, leaving a gap when closed. One of the worst experiences was when birds nested in the bathroom vent due to improper sealing. We ended up with bird mites, which caused severe itching and required treatment from a dermatologist. Despite this being a maintenance failure, the management refused to take responsibility or provide proper compensation. We spent months trying to get the issue resolved, wasting money and time. Getting packages here is another nightmare. Residents must use the Luxer One locker system near the leasing office, which requires an annual fee. However, packages are often left outside the lockers, making them vulnerable to theft. I've had several packages stolen, especially during the holiday season. Even high-value packages that require a signature sometimes end up in the shared locker. The only positive about Bent Tree is its location, which was the main reason I moved here. If I had the budget to move earlier, I would've left long ago. I'm planning to leave as soon as my lease ends. Read other reviews,there are many residents who share my frustrations. And to Bent Tree management: don't bother leaving a generic response I know nothing will change

The Property manager Sonia in the leasing office is absolute unprofessional, she never answered any of my calls nor emails, even lived there for three years. They have the worst costumer services, rude all the time, they don't have any respect for residents. Please stay away from this nasty community, parking and cleanliness is the biggest issue of this community plus worst management.

They are not even desolved one star. You cannot imagine any worst than this apartment. The manager forgot what she said everytime and change her word. Made me pay $300 for repair and clean. What they told me was that they are going to sue me if I am not paying what I didn't desolved. Noise between apartment is a nightmare here. PLEASE DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!! YOU WILL REGRET !!!

I moved because of the new management and their new policies. They told me if I kept the apartment until Sept 1, I wouldn't be charged an early move out fee. I physically moved on July 27. Turned in the keys on Aug 28, got a bill on 9/4 and they did charge me a fee. I disputed, but to no avail. Then low and behold on 9/20 I get yet another bill from them and them telling me they are sending me to collections. Not to mention, my water/trash was $118 and I WASN'T EVEN IN THE APARTMENT!!!! I am still disputing. Their move out team is REDIC...They took pictures of the wall where the couch and bed was against them and want me to pay $115 or 125 to paint. They are going smoke free, I am a smoker, you have to paint anyways!!! This is the WORST community to live in with HORRIBLE customer service....choose some place else to rent, trust you won't regret the decision.

I live here for 7 years and the past year has been the worse. I feel that my time there doesn't count as a loyal resident. Parking spot for my sons car is 95 dollars a month!!!! That is absolutely ridiculous and when my husband told the manager that we will have to end up moving at the end of the lease she just said ok you do what it's good for your family. We will move soon! Not staying in a place that don't appreciate residents.

I believe this property lacks professionalism as the leasing specialist I was emailing with had originally scheduled me for the wrong time. 5 minutes past the time we were supposed to virtually meet for a tour she emailed me with a link. Another 5 minutes passed and I emailed asking when someone would hop on.. she said give it 5 minutes. Finally after waiting 30 minutes past the time of having my virtual tour I gave up. I responded about no one showing up and she said oh did no one get on? ---- obviously not. She said she'll forward feedback to management. If you value your time and work from home and are in between meetings like myself all day, think twice about this property. They have no sense of urgency or professionalism. I hope management can understand that if you're going to offer virtual tours, you should probably make sure your staff can actually show up on time or even show up at all! Really a shame.

I will be writing series of reviews regarding bent tree apartment. we lived for total of 3 years in 2 different units. On the 2nd unit, we lived for less than 24 month and we were charged for 30+ months worth of carpet damge, appx $17 per month based on their calculation. Staff/manager was very reluctant to explain/discuss the matter but to present you with "INVOICE/BILL". We were present on the final walk through and inspecton day and no such claim was mentioned. Existing carpet when our rent started was NOT new so it probably was in a condition to replace from normal wear and tear. I didn't have to pay for the carpet on the previous unit that we lived in, but had to pay for the 2nd one regardless. I BELIEVE MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE THEN. As those of you who read not just my review but others below, you can conclude that last tenant who stay in the unit will have to pay for the carpet REGARDLESS. All apartments and rental units have pros and cons. it just really sucks when they get you at the end just because you are leaving. Hope this review helps some of you. I will write more later. Thanks for reading.

I have been living in this community for 3+ years and the only reason I decided to stay this long was because of the convenience of having 28, 29 and 66 so close. I had a visitor last month and parked the car on the suggested visitor parking but the car was towed within 6 hours and the leasing office just felt sorry for the car being towed. I have seen the same cars parked in the same space all year long (2018) and i am ready to take some pictures every day and post them so the leasing office can see how is it that these people get away with it.

Parking here is a HUGE problem. I've lived here nearly 6 months and every time I get home after 9 pm I have to drive to the other side of the apartment complex to park (a 15 minute walk to my building). If I arrive after midnight I have to pray that someone is leaving because I have literally not found parking multiple times (to the point that I literally go home, PARK, then UBER places cause finding parking is so insanely frustrating after a long shift - I work two jobs a 9-5 job and as a bartender). Maintenance is also a huge problem. My heater broke in December and I put in a ticket and went to the office (because otherwise it would have taken weeks for them to come out, and frankly I am not keen on letting my apartment stay at the 20 degrees Fahrenheit my thermometer was reading). The first maintanence team told me that the heating system was broken and they couldn't replace the entire thing (as itll be too expensive and they'd need administrative permission) after imploring them to fix it they explained they didn't think they'd be allowed to but they left to ask. After a couple hours a second team came back and closed all the vents forcing the little heat in the system into my bedroom and told me 'they were done and fixed the problem'. Obviously this isn't a fix, the first team came back after the second left and explained they weren't allowed to replace the system because itll take too long and itll be expensive. Luckily this winter wasn't terrible, but to this day my heating system is pretty wonky and I have to blast it to have a decent temperature in my apartment (electric bill due to this went from 80/mo it was in November to 200/mo just to get my apartment at a constant 67 degrees). Some maintenance workers try really hard to fix problems (notably Percy and Miguel) but others seem to have given up at this point and don't really care, so be wary. The grounds are pretty dirty due to their lack of trash containers, and their "valet trash collection service" that is mandatory sucks. You also will constantly get spammed by random newsletters and I assume companies that have a partnership with Bent Tree. I suspect that pests will become a problem once spring warms up more. My apartment is very clean (I clean-mop-sweep everyday) but when I was sweeping my floor yesterday I noticed three ants scampering around as well as a beetle. Though this is the first and only times I've seen pests inside the apartment, I assume that the fact a beetle was able to make it in when I keep the apartment locked down and clean constantly (never open windows or doors unless I am walking in and out) shows that pests will begin to be a problem. As noted by someone else Bent Tree does has numerous fees and honestly if they can get away with charging you more I wouldn't be surprised. The apartments though cheap are poorly made (I used to be a home remodeler and I noted that my 'hard wood floors' were already peeling after being installed 'a month before I moved in' and that the double windows are ancient and poorly installed). When my neighbors upstairs were moving in the ceiling shook and I had a lot of white dust and paint on my furniture which I had to clean up. Honestly I wouldn't recommend anyone to live here unless they are on a budget and can put up with all of this. I will probably be moving out as soon as my lease terminates because frankly I would rather commute from Sterling to my jobs in Chantilly than to put up with this place again.

Updating this review to give a bit more transparent information:-there have been a couple nights where there have been 0 parking spaces in the entire apartment complex. I had to park in a fire lane, and emailed to say I was parking in a fire lane and never heard back. Reminder that you pay $15/car per month just for basic parking.-constant construction is going on. We have had people doing some construction on our deck without any type of notice. Just this morning I heard some noises outside and found someone on the deck with a ladder. Again - didn't receive any type of notice or time frame for this to be completed, and my screen door curtains were not closed.-our door will not completely shut to them point of it jamming nearly everytime we try to close it. If you're moving in, I recommend buying something to seal the door and also have something for under the door to stop air from coming in. We can see right through our door currently. We also still have water damage on our ceiling that we were told would be fixed back in July.- I have really tried to be patient and understanding, but I regret moving here every day. No one has reached out to me since our move in to discuss these concerns. I very strongly advise you to look elsewhere. The cost seems cheap, but our rent has gone up a lot more than we were initially told, and the itemized statements are extremely hard to understand/disorganized. I really hope something changes very soon. Again - I'm not one to take the time to write bad reviews, but this living situation is pretty bad to say the least. I have been a resident at Bent Tree Apartments for a little over 2 months. Pros: -convenient location to 28, 66, etc. -maintenance team rocks, and is very friendly and efficient-dog park for dog lovers and owners-pretty neighborhood with lots of trees and paths for walki Cons:-hidden fees everywhere. Our base rent for a 2Br/2B is under $1,552, but with water, trash, sewage, parking, etc it equates to ~$1,670. This doesn't even include the $300 admin fee we paid for a gym that isn't open, the $50 locker fee for packages that are still delivered right in front of my apartment, $50 charge of each pet per month, $3 for pest control when there is a big bug problem, and my separate bills for internet and electric. On top of that late fees are charged the day after you miss rent and they charge $100. There is NO grace period whatsoever (in the lease agreement)-floors are so uneven we can't even put things on our shelf without things rolling off. Water damage on ceiling hasn't been fixed, and we have reached out multiple times. -super loud environment. We are located right next to a major road which factors into noise, but additionally the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors very easily - even them turning on the shower -little to no visitor parking, especially after 7pm. They provide about 15 spots total for visitor parking for the entire community, so if you plan on having guests over, they likely won't be able to park there unless they get there very early in the day. -has no communication about lease or move in info until the day before I moved in. Received the finalized lease document less than 48 hours before move in. I hate writing bad reviews, especially because my boyfriend and I were so excited to live here. We will not be renewing our lease and we urge anyone to read this and think carefully before renting. Hopefully things change for future renters because it really could be a nice place to live.

I truly wish I could tell you how excited we are to leave this dump. I have never left a review for any product, service, or business, but felt it so important to let everyone know our experience so that you all will not make the same mistake we made by living here. The price is cheap and there is a reason for it. First of all, our A/C was made in 1986 and of course it broke and the maintenance staff said, "it should still be working." It took a week to get it fixed and my roommate had to complain 3 times before the incompetent maintenance staff fixed it. There were rodents living on our balcony. No more words needed for this. Our neighbor is raising a stray cat. This cat will sit outside his door and meow until he comes out and feeds it. The cat blocks the stairwell, which is not very great to come home to as someone who is terrified of cats. There is constantly vomit on the stairs outside and it is never cleaned, and then stains the stairwell. Not to mention the stairwell is dirty enough and has never been cleaned in the first place. Our apartment has the worst smell. It's terrible because you get used to it (which is gross), but when you walk in for the first time, it hits you and is not welcoming. I am not sure what the smell is but trust me it is horrible. The staff are absolute morons. I cannot believe the things I have heard them say while residents are in the office. They are so immature and have zero customer service. They do not offer you a chair when you come in and I actually knelt on the floor for 20 minutes and was never once offered a chair. They have no regard for their residents and I truly believe their entire staff needs to be turned over, with the exception of Chris. The worst part about this place for me is the unbelievable amount of bugs. I find at least 3 spiders in our apartment every day. It is so frustrating because I cannot go to sleep sometimes because I am imagining all of the bugs that are crawling around me. I called and complained and they said they would come spray, but that did nothing apparently. Please PLEASE do yourself a favor and take my advice. I have never left a review for anything before. That's how unhappy I am here.

BEEN a loyal person of this community since 2015. All I'm going to say is a lot of residents have been upset with the money hungry people running this company. Parking has been absolutely outrageous. They charge extra just to assign you a spot far away from your building. Not only that but their management team is unprofessional as they do not know what they're doing or aren't responsive to any issues throughout the community. If you are a resident who wants to be getting robbed you should probably think about living here unless you're smart, find somewhere else.

I wanted to switch my unit to same size onther unit because of Mold, water leakage under floor, high hamidity and hamidity smell in my unit.The management team is not able to fix this problem, because they are careless ,unprofessional every day they defruad the residents.Always my children have complain from headach, sore throat and body pain.I bought a dehumidifier to control hamidity it did not work properly because there is water leakage under floor.The Leasing Office offered me extra money or my new income. meanwhile I'm living here for 4 years I don't have late payments or no paynalty.They don't look at my 4 years record. Just they know how to take money from residents' packets. We do not feel safe and happy here, so the best judge is very human's own conscience !

The new management is worst ever I experienced. There is not enough maintenance staff. Any emergency maintenance, we have to wait for 3-7 days. They don't pick up the phone from tenants and also do not reply the phone. Office staff do not keep the record properly too. Last month, they misplaced the check (rent) and sent another letter with late fee. When we went there and asked about the situation, they said, "you gave me the check but I did not accept, so you have to pay rent but we could discount the late fee." What the reason, they did not accept that specific check and discount the late fee? But accepted all other checks. There is no CCTV camera and receipt for proof. I highly recommend them to set up CCTV camera. On 05/08/2018, there was baby shower at my apartment, I asked the visitor parking for my relatives but they denied to provide visitor parking, so my guest unable to participate in baby shower. Office manager (Sonia Anzar) was so rude and treated me as animal (pet) like animal does not have friends and relatives.

Experience was not a good one anyway you look at it. The staff was unprofessional and unable to assist in an efficient and effective manner. For 6+ months, there was a broken sink in my apartment. Management and staff were unable to successfully coordinate between the necessary repairmen and myself in order for that to be remedied. Additionally, not all charges on move out were assessed in accordance with the lease. Upon my request to speak with someone regarding this, I was ignored. Should you consider moving there, be prepared to (1) be overcharged; (2) not be provided promised living conditions in one form or another; and (3) not have any sort of effective or efficient communication with Bent Tree or Air Communities staff. Bottom line, I would not recommend engaging with Bent Tree Apartments, or with any property its parent company, Air Communities, owns due to their lack of care for their residents. Following up on my customer experience after being directed to Air Communities. The customer service I received throughout this process has again been tangibly distasteful. It is clear that residents are considered a disruption to this company and not a priority. The Air Communities team made a unilateral determination with zero transparency to the customer on how or why they are able to operate not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Good to see another company free driving into residents' wallets as they please. Also, the posts regarding parking are true. It's a hassle. Residents speed through the parking lots creating i excess risk for pedestrians and children in the area.

The first day I moved in, the apartment had not been properly prepared. After being unable to move my belongings in on the first day, the maintenance crew (which is the worst maintenance crew I've ever dealt with) didn't properly replace essential objects in the apartment, and left the floors absolutely disgusting. Then after coming home with groceries, I found out the apartment is infested with bugs, and that pest control had never been to the apartment. After talking to management they said a pest control worker was sent, but I came home to roaches on the invoice itself, and still a massive amount of bugs. To ice the cake, less than a week into moving in, the apartment flooded and I wasn't able to get "24 hour emergency maintenance" to my place for an hour. Then the worker was unable to speak enough English to instruct me on where to go for the night, and the receptionist also had no idea what to do. This complex is a nightmare.

Their good reviews are fake for the most part. Summary: Bent Tree is an average apt complex with a bunch of people trying to make money by trapping clients by some customer service BECAUSE THEY GET PAID COMMISSIONS MAINLY. So if they don't trap you, they won't get paid. If they need to compensate residents, they act like it's not their fault and when you need to pay the rent 1 day late they would charge you a late fee(I think like 100-150$) And if you are a resident with any of these problems: parking, car scratches, clumsy neighbors, car being towed, trying to call the office (rarely they answer), you will have to figure it out on your own. Good luck My honest advice cuz I really hated this place is to Stay away!!! Just thinking: Why would you pay 2500$ or even a bit more on a 2-bd apt for a "Luxury" apt (it's not luxury at all, actually) while you can pay a bit more to rent a whole house (3 or 4 bds)?! First experience: Really bad experience and only in less than 2 months. It is too expensive for this bad quality. Insects in the apt and on the stairs and they charge for pest control! Pets litter all over the community. You can hear the neighbors like they are with you in the apt even if you live in the very top floor. We had 3 cars for 1 night (2 mine and 1 rental) so we decided to park 2 cars in our official parking spots (one car of mine and the renatl) and the other car of mine parked in a spot that's not formally parking but other cars where there then my car was towed! because of only parking a few hours for only 1 night and while they know our plates and each car owner, but still they have a CONTRACT with a towing company to tow residents' cars to most likely get money out of. So they make the issue and they know that it's not easy to get a 3rd parking spot and they tow cars too! Instead of giving a few hours grace period to move the car or even they can give a warning if they care about customers. FYI, Some neighbors' cars were broken into to steal things. I had 2 parking spots and one of my cars got scratches twice because of the clumsy neighbor next to me. They told me to figure it out on my own. Really, what a good customer service . An update: I decided to leave to get a better place and they charged me for 5 months (2 months notice and 3 months penalty) plus taking almost half of my deposit for BS. Staff there is trying to be nice to trap you by sugarcoating the reality while Bent tree is less than average community, be careful! Tried to reach out to the financing team to finance the penalty because they offered that and they were never responsive at all.

This location doesn't deserve even one star. It became impossible to live in this apartment complex. First year was a very good to live here, but the second year is horrible. I decided to write this review because I don't see any resolution about the issue I adressed to Aimco leasing office since summer. The life become horrible after a neighbor moved in with a dog which is constantly barking untill noon every night. I addressed this issue to the leasing office, I don't observe any improvements, it looks that they are ignoring me, they just want to make money, but they don't care about people living in here. A big disaster is with the parking. They made a lot of reserved parking lots to drag more money out of the people living here and if you come after 10 in the night you barely find a space to park. Also they are charging for the mail packages, before this was free. I am very disappointed about this place. I am counting down the days to get out of this community. The worse place I ever lived.

Update 07/21/23: I moved out, they are attempting to charge me for things that make no sense on a deposit (random sewage, water, and fees), and Afrah decided to block me when I raised concerns. I do not recommend renting here. They will charge you rent for an apartment you can't stay in, claim it's habitable when it isn't, and will try to bully you into giving them good reviews. Original: Been a resident here for a year now, there's almost no visitor parking, and they refuse to provide permits for visitors. They know about the issue and refuse to do anything about it. They will tow when their visitor spots are full. Update: apartment flooded too, they refuse to move us into a new apartment and they have an insane reletting fee of 3 months of rent. You heard that right. Avoid this apartment complex at all costs.

A great place to live if you have no friends, no car, don't get any mail and don't mind when everything breaks. If you have no friends, you won't have to be concerned that there is very limited guest parking. If you're thinking it's cool because your friends exclusively travel by Uber/Lyft make sure they also aren't smokers, because the community is going "smoke free" including parking lots, your balcony, etc. The wait time to go grab whatever you had prime shipped to you is at least 45 minutes. If you go to the store to buy stuff like some commoner and God forbid, have an actual question you want answered - just forget it. You'll get a more efficient answer from a Magic 8 Ball. You could try calling or emailing, but I have yet to get responses that way. I'm going to try a carrier pigeon next. I will say the maintenance staff has a couple cool dudes working for them. Of course, I see them the most has something is always broken.

Management is argumentative, and lies so you can lease with them. People in the office is rude for the most part. Gym really old, same for several years it hasn't been updated in years. The buildings needs maintenance, paint as well as the stairs, although they recently "replaced them" it hasn't been painted. Bugs every where, trash, spiderwebs in every corner, they clean probably once a year and you have to call them requesting to PLEASE clean the breezeway. Dogpark is better and bigger than children's playground. No parking space even though you have to pay per vehicle monthly, if you are lucky enough to find a spot you will be walking at least two blocks from your building. Management loves dogs so complaining about a loud and noisy dog or pee in he stairs or poop in the side walks is NOT an option. Hide fees so if you decide to move make sure you READ carefully your lease and make sure everything is in writing otherwise you can lose. A lot of maintenance needs to be done in every single unit but new management is prioritizing dogparks, asphalt, sidewalks, lease office and honestly not sure what else because you don't see them and whatever it is you definitely won't take advantage of it. Try to find another place if you can. You will be better and happier if you are not living in Bent Tree specially with new management, new fees and new stuff. But the way pictures online are definitely NOT how Bent Tree really looks. Make sure they show you the apartment and building where you are planning to move before you sign the lease. I was unable to upload the pictures to show but unfortunately it was an option.

Worst place to move into. Parking is messed up, maintenance never come and if they do they dont listen to the preferred time. Leasing office oh man where do I start. They never answer. Always say this and that and dont keep their words. Airbag theft literally all the time and they dont do anything about it and only send emails. As if that will help? Dont return deposit and charges for paint when they should be responsible to repaint the walls for next tenant. No visitor parking without a pass from the leasing office when they literally close so early. So no last minu guests. So much more but i am too mad to talk about my experience at bent tree. Seriously, go somewhere else people.
